Connect multiple Photofinish systems to Athletics.app

Question

We use two photofinish systems from Time tronics: a main one and a backup.
Today I tried to connect both systems at the same time to the Athletics.app app. After that, one of them kept reporting connection problems.

Can the protocol handle two computers?

If so, can the app handle this? The two Photofinish computers are connected to each other with a gigabit switch and to a third computer.

Answer 1

The Athletics.app app supports multiple MacFinish instances at the same time.

Make sure you set the IP address correctly in both the Athletics.app app and in both MacFinish instances.

In the Athletics.app app, change the IP address to the IP address of the computer running Athletics.app. If you leave this on the default setting (127.0.0.1), Athletics.app can only be accessed from the local computer. In both MacFinish instances, you then set the IP address to be the same as the one you entered in the Athletics.app app. That way, all MacFinish instances on the same network can connect to the Athletics.app app.
